Facebook’s CIA-like
Political Control System Bosses Get Pissed At Those Who

Vary From The
MK Ultra Plan

By Martin Ranshoff

Facebook exists to spy on the public and control their thoughts by
controlling every word, sentence and phrase that the public is
allowed to see on the internet.

When Facebook bosses realized that people were adding their own
thoughts to web postings, Facebook flipped out.

A number of people were posting headline comments that were
unfavorable to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, Facebook’s
political monkeys.

Facebook thereby created a fake issue about writers being upset that
people had opinions in order to control all internet opinions. The
“Altering Headlines” issue has nothing to do with “publishers
being upset” and everything to do with Hillary Clinton and the DNC
being upset that Facebook’s media control was getting real opinions
attached to it!

Facebook exists to rig the news to put politicians in office who will
give cash to Zuckerberg, Plouffe and their buddies.

Facebook
Bars
Advertisers from Altering News Headlines

Social
network’s
change came after WSJ flagged examples of the practice ByJack

FacebookFB
-1.21%▲on
Thursday said it will stop allowing advertisers who promote news
articles on the site to modify the headlines and descriptions
that
appear with them, a practice that some publishers say
misrepresents
their work.

The
social network’s change came after The Wall Street Journal
contacted the company, pointing to examples of such ads.

In
June, Facebook said it would prevent its users from modifying
news
article headlines, descriptions and images when posting links,
as
part of a broader push to crack down on the spread of false or
misleading information.

But
the change didn’t apply to paying advertisers, who continued to
have the ability to alter these “link previews” through
Facebook’s ad platform.

The
Journal found examples of how marketers had used the tactic to
subtly
reposition press coverage about their companies or products. In
many
cases the changes didn’t appear drastic, and the advertisers say
they were meant to enhance clarity, not mislead readers.

But
the changes were enough to make some publishers uncomfortable.
It
wasn’t clear how widespread the practice was.

recent ad for mattress company Casper linked to a Business
Insider article using the headline “How Casper is Revolutionizing
the Way We Sleep.” But the Business Insider article the ad linked
to carried the headline “I bought a bed from the Target-backed
‘Warby Parker of mattresses’ and I’ll never buy one in stores
again.” It didn’t say anything about Casper “revolutionizing”
sleep.

Similarly,
BuzzFeed published an article in 2016 about a toothbrush called
Quip,
with the headline “I Tried The Hipster Toothbrush That’s All
Over
Facebook And TBH I Loved It”.

uip subsequently purchased Facebook ads linking to the
BuzzFeed article, but edited the headline to remove the word
“hipster” and “TBH”, which is an acronym for “to be
honest.”

Some
publishers say they’re worried their content is being presented
to
consumers in ways they have no knowledge of and no control over.

“Our
audience trusts and values our product reviews and editorial for
their authenticity, so anything that violates the integrity of
that
content is concerning to us,” a BuzzFeed spokesman said, adding
that the company’s legal department had contacted Quip to ask it
to
refrain from editing its headlines in Facebook ads in future.

Other
advertisers besides Casper have also posted edited links to
Business
Insider articles in their Facebook ads in recent weeks. Business
Insider declined to comment.

In
a statement, a Facebook spokesman said advertisers will no
longer be
able to modify news headlines in this way. “While they should be
able to edit links pointing to their own material, they
shouldn’t
be able to edit headlines on stories they didn’t create,” the
spokesman said. “Advertisers will still be able to edit
headlines
in links when they point to their own content, and we have
strict
policies in place that prohibit misleading ads.”

Publishers
will also continue to be able to modify the social headlines for
their own articles.

For
advertisers, editing link previews enabled them to position
editorial
coverage about their companies in the best light possible. It
also
allowed them to carefully optimize the wording of headlines for
maximum impact as they typically would with most advertising
they
purchase.

A
Casper spokeswoman said the company decided to alter the
headline in
the link preview because Business Insider’s version didn’t
explicitly mention the Casper brand, and because it was
truncated
when it appeared in the news feed because of Facebook’s
character
limits.

Shane
Pittson, a growth marketer at Quip, said the company edited the
BuzzFeed link preview for similar reasons. Without the ability
to
edit link previews it would be less willing to spend money on
ads
promoting publishers’ content because those posts are often
“unusable in their natural form,” Mr. Pittson said.
